Pandemic Property Issues and socks

Featured tours on Planet RantWoman this season are on the theme "Peculiar Gratitudes."

Today's example: RantWoman is glad the 50 and then, after "de-intensification," 30  who formerly used rented space ... now have their own hotel rooms courtesy of the city. RantWoman is sorry it took a massive COVID outbreak at the overnight shelter downstairs. RantWoman is sorry for the financial hit toMeeting and RantWoman is holding in the Light a number of other concerns..

 The back story: RantWoman one evening was browsing positive test results on a county website for various homelessness services providers. RantWoman noticed that there were two unspecified locations operated by the agency operating the shelter in the Meeting basement. Both locations had double-digit numbers of positive tests, though RantWoman did not register the number of hospitalizations. RantWoman decided just to bite her tongue and curl up any email fingers. RantWoman cannot say she is sorry that public health officials decreed that there is no way to make the space safe right now.

Next peculiar gratitude: RantWoman is very grateful, despite sever philosophical quibbles, that the other agency renting the basement is part of a holiday new sock drive. RantWoman is thinking of RantBrother and some no-one can fix issues and how much getting him the right donations seem to matter. RantWoman realized her task is to STFU about philosophy and bigger dimensions of problems right now. If socks are what is needed and socks are what people can give, RantWoman needs to STFU about a whole bunch of quibbles and just get out of the way.

RantWoman still thinks she was asking reasonable questions; RantWoman would have been thrilled if the questions had come out of anyone else's mouth. RantWoman recalls a conversation with someone who, RantWoman pretty sure was not at the business meeting documented above something like "yeah, it seems like we are getting pretty intensely into homeless services." All RantWoman could say: "I am totally unsurprised.
